iPhone 18 Series: Specs and Nigeria Pricing
| Model | Chip | Display | Battery | Nigeria Price (256GB) | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 18 Pro | A20 Pro (2nm) | 6.3″ LTPO OLED | Up to 40 hours | ₦2,270,000 – ₦2,894,386 | Professionals who want flagship power without the largest screen |
| iPhone 18 Pro Max | A20 Pro (2nm), variable-aperture camera | 6.9″ LTPO OLED | Up to 45 hours | ₦2,500,000 – ₦3,135,786 | Content creators and power users who need the biggest battery and camera |
| iPhone Duo (foldable) | A20 Pro | Dual-screen foldable | Not yet confirmed | Not yet listed; pre-orders open October 16 | Early adopters chasing Apple’s first foldable design |
Nigerian retailers priced the devices well above official US figures, since Apple’s global launch does not yet cover Nigeria as a first-wave market. Sellers also factor import duties, logistics, and currency risk into their markups. At roughly ₦1,330 to the dollar, the $1,299 US Pro Max price should convert near ₦1.72 million. However, Nigerian pre-order listings already start above ₦2.5 million, reflecting that import gap.

Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4: Specs and Nigeria Pricing
| Model | Case Size | Chip | Battery Life | US Starting Price | Nigeria Price Status | Best For |
| Apple Watch Series 12 | 42mm / 46mm | S11 | Up to 24 hours normal use | $399 | Not yet confirmed locally | Everyday health tracking and fitness goals |
| Apple Watch Ultra 4 | 49mm titanium | S11 | Up to 50 hours normal use | $799 | Not yet confirmed locally | Endurance athletes and outdoor adventurers |
Both watches launched with new Health Sensing hardware and a Readiness score feature. Neither watch has confirmed Nigerian retail pricing yet, since local stock has not fully landed. For context, Nigerian retailers sold the previous Watch Ultra 2 near ₦1.7 million to ₦2 million. Due to this, buyers should expect a similar markup once the new models reach Nigerian shelves.
